Fun and lots of compliments

Look forward to driving daily. Strangers approach with compliments. Lack of torque steer from the rear wheel drive is wonderful.
The low rpm driving torque is very well done.
I thoroughly compared to European, korean and Japanese, as well as caddy and gmc. So many good choices but the massage seats and overall redesign package cinched it for us. The platinum and st versions have lots of tech, but are pricey. The xlt 4wd base model with 2.3 EcoBoost was impressive however, and with a very reasonable price. We opted for the st for features and the very exciting 3.0 EB.…

Value if you pick the right trim

By Explorer XLT (1 month review) | on Wednesday, December 18, 2019

Lot of people mention a high price associated with this new Explorer. I just got a well equipped XLT for under $38K. The power is sufficient. The usable space is great. And the visibility is amazing. No other vehicle comes close. Even the Explorer's brother the "Aviator" was difficult to see out the windshield and A pillars. It doesn't seem to have the artificial engine sound pumped into the cabin through the speakers in the XLT trim. So you get to hear the "buzzy engine" as another reviewer put it. The turning radius is surprisingly tight and overall handling good. However, the ride quality can be a little stiff. If you have the drive mode set to "sport" be prepared to know that the engine will hang onto a lower gear longer than you think it needs to.…

More refined inside and out than the predecessor

Before I bought my '20 Explorer Limited, I looked at the offerings from Land Rover, Audi and Volvo, and looked at the Ford on a lark. The handling equalled or bested the Audi Q5 with much more room, and against the Volvo it was no contest. The Land Rover was $10K more expensive, so the value was more impressive. We needed a passenger/cargo hauler and the suited the purpose well. The center captains chairs are nice, and the seat configuration for 6 ends up being male and more comfortable. The 2.3L Eco Boost can seem buzzy but it puts out ample acceleration and more than adequate power with decent mileage for a car that tips the scales at 4,500 lbs. I've been averaging around 23-24 in a mixed driving loop that includes local and freeway driving, which was more than I expected. Overall, I'm happy and impressed.…
